“For people wondering about all my injuries; I’m gonna lay out a timeline for you and it will hopefully help paint a picture of what has transpired the last few years,” Long wrote on Twitter.

“First three years I played every game except for one or two. I switched positions to help team in third year [also wanted a challenge]. Learned a lot about OL switching positions.

“Fourth year, back to guard… healthy, dominant and improving on a daily basis. Tore my labrum in preseason. Opted to play the year and be there for my team – plan was to fix after season.

“Late in the fourth year I got rolled up in the pile and mangled my ankle. Surgery and rehab needed… no time for shoulder.

“Fifth year coming in I was no where near 100% and I did what I could to play and help our young team. As year went on [as a result of shoulder] things happened in proximity of shoulder that were unfortunate. Neck became an issue.”

My goodness.

And yet, despite all of that, he remains optimistic.

“Now [it’s] time for me to fix myself,” he wrote. “Wanted you guys to hear it from me. I’m very excited about what the future holds for this team, and I’m jacked up about being healthy again. And again, thank you all for the support, it means the world to me and my family.”
